Lyrics

I woke up this mornin' to an empty space
Her memories still lingerin' like a rigid B face
The sunlights bright but it don't feel da same
Sonny of a beach stole my country girl and now I'm to blame
BULL

Left me here whiskey breath shamed
Thunder rolls can you hear it
Whiskey Lullaby played on the radio
Reminds me of her and the love that we used to know

Beer for My Horses took us on a wild ride
But now she's gone I'm left to hide
As the neon lights of the honky-tonk shine bright
You can't help but think a the one that got away tonight

Tequila Sunrise brings back memories of her smile
But now she's sippin' drinks sonny of a beach all the while
Amarillo by morning up from San Antone
Everything that I've been looking for is gone

Red Dirt Road leads me back to my hometown
But without her it just don't feel like home
Country Boy Can Survive but not without her love
Now I'm just a lonesome cowboy sent from above

You can't turn back the hands of the clock on the wall
But you can't help but wonder what could've been after all
Sometimes it's better to just let go
But it's hard to move on when your heart is broken so

Sonny of a beach stole my country girl aways
Left me here nothin' to say
Note that this is just one possible interpretation and you may want to go away
Damn Whiskey Drinkin' Woman anyway

Now I'm left here with this ol' guitar to make it cry
Sonny of a beach stole my country girl
I'll say goodbye good riddance
Thank God for country's music rides
